Unfortunately Fairbanks, Alaska is a town of 90,000 people and all though there are TONS of subaru's up here not much in the way of junkyards. I wish we had a "u-pull-it" style junk yard where you can just go in and get what you need. But all the junk yards around here charge practically new prices for used parts. Napa had the OEM part in Anchorage and are shipping it overnight. I noticed it looks like it's going to be a bit of a trick to get that pump replaced in the assembly. Doesn't look fun but I imagine it won't be that bad. We'll see soon enough.

I need some more advice. I finally got the correct fuel pump however the power connections are completely different on the new pump from the old. I've snapped a photo of the differences. One is a post and the other is a spade style. I can run down to the hardware store and pickup what i need to swap the power connections but I need some advice on how to proceed. I'm not an electrical guru by any means and realize that I want to do this as safely as possible. Electrical current inside a gas tank isn't something you really want to mess with. So please if you have any recommendations on what I need to do to the power connectors to hook this pump up I'm all ears.

 

Photo on the left is the old pump and new pump with the new being on the right. And the 2nd photo is of the existing power connectors. I'm thinking I can just crimp a new style of power connector or use a lock nut and bolt combo? The positive wire did have a plastic shroud around it. That won't mate up on the new pump...will that be a problem? Suggestions? Thanks!!!!

She lives! 210,000 miles and still running. Just wanted to say thanks! It indeed was the fuel pump. Fired right up first try after replacing it. Replacement pump cost about $220 from NAPA it was a bosh direct OEM replacement and included the screen and a fresh hose. Don't bother with the cheap $100 pumps they don't fit (at least on my 91 legacy) and aren't even close to the right pumps.
